Body Had Shut Down in the Last Couple of Days During Ashes: Steve Smith

Steve Smith spent more than 32 hours in the crease during the Ashes, despite missing a Test match and the second entry into Lord’s, in Australia’s efforts to recover the urn. And Australia simply wouldn’t have succeeded without her enormous effort in drawing the series 2-2.Smith, who scored 774 runs in the series, admitted that he was exhausted at the end of the series. “It was probably a bit of everything: mental, emotional , physical, “said Smith, quoted by cricket.com.au.

Obviously I’m quite intense when I’m batting but I help whenever I can. “” I don’t want to sit down and not say something if I think it could help us. “” We’ll cross that bridge later if it arrives. Right now I’m comfortable and Tim is doing a great job. “
